Failed to start server. Can not bind to address

[Mirabeau2Code]

Hi

if fftp running as a user get : "Failed to start server. Can not bind to address" (and not quit (!) when got this error)

it must be running as root to running ok

i try bind different config: interface=0.0.0.0

interface=192.168.0.112

why can't running as a simple user ?

@Mirabeau2Code Hi， I solved this problem by modifying the fftp.conf file. Specifically, it means changing the IP and subnet mask in the fftp.conf file to the local IP and subnet mask. Hope it can help you.

you just sudo.

you can sudo, also you can change a random port that is above 1023.
